Everton reveal stunning designs for new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock

These are the stunning designs for Everton's proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

The Blues have this evening revealed their vision for a waterfront ground with images produced by architect Dan Meis.

Fans were invited to a special event at the Titanic Hotel where Meis unveiled his designs for the club's new home which would have an initial capacity of 52,000.

Everton are proposing a single-tier home that will house 13,000 Evertonians with supporters as close to the pitch as regulations allow.

Both the North and South stands of the new ground are designed to make the adoption of rail seating easy and could be converted into areas of safe standing, should legislation change.

The release of the images tonight kicks-off a month-long second stage public consultation with feedback potentially influencing final designs.

Everton remain on course to submit a full planning application for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock – and an outline application for the Goodison Park legacy project – by the end of the year.

Chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale said: “Today marks an incredibly important milestone for us as we seek to build a new stadium which will act as a ‘game changer’ for the Club and our city region.

“Our proposed stadium design takes its inspiration from both our city’s maritime history and from our Club’s rich heritage and traditions.

“It is, first and foremost, a stadium for football, for our passionate fans and for our players.

"A stadium that gives Everton Football Club a platform for growth both commercially and socially.

"But it is also a stadium for the entire city and a development which will deliver transformative benefits in terms of regeneration and inclusive growth for the whole Liverpool City Region and for North Liverpool in particular.

“Our plans for Goodison Park, although much more outlined at this stage, fulfil our promise to our neighbours in Liverpool 4 to work together to create something that will benefit the community for generations to come.”
